The document provides an overview of conditional statements in JavaScript, including If, If-Else, Nested If, If-Else If, and Switch statements. Each type of statement is explained with syntax and examples, demonstrating how they evaluate conditions and execute corresponding code. The Switch statement is highlighted as a more efficient alternative for handling multiple conditions compared to If-Else If statements.

Conditional Statements
In JS, conditional statements perform different actions for
different decisions.
If Statement
The “If Statement” is used to check or verify a condition and
execute a set of statements only if the condition is true. This
should be referred as a statement and not as a function.
The If statement is one of the most popular and most important
conditional constructs in JS and in many other programming
languages. This conditional statement construct evaluates a
condition to True or False. It then runs a specific code depending
on the result of this evaluation.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head><title>IF</title> Try this Sample script
<script type=“text/javascript”>
function check()
{if (document.example.answer.value==“Web Scripting”)
{document.write(“You answered correctly!”);}}
</script></head>
<body>
<p>What is the title of this book?</p>
<form name=“example”>
<input type=“text” name=“answer” value=“”>
<input type=“button” name=“answerbutton” value=“SUBMIT”
onClick=check()>
</form></body>
</html>
Nested If Statement

Nested If statement is like an “if statement” with another “if


statement” just like a parent and a child. Nested if is used when
“child” condition is only checked when the parent condition is true.
For example, in purchasing a car, first the car color is verified if it
looks good, only if it satisfies the parent condition which is the price
and goes on to a more superior condition.
Syntax:
if (condition 1)
{
if (condition 2)
{
//set of statements that will be executed
}
}
If-Else Statement

If-Else statement has also the same format as “if statement”. The
only thing, is that an Else part is added to an If statement. So, if the
condition satisfies the statement inside an If statement, part of the
code will be executed. And Else statement inside Else part only will
be executed.
The If-Else statement is similar to the If statement, except that we
are giving an alternative instruction in case the arguments isn’t
TRUE.
Syntax:
if(condition)
{//set of statements if condition satisfies}
else
{//set of statements if condition fails}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head><title>If Else</title>
</head> Try this Sample script
<body>
<script language=“javascript”>
var grade=60;
if(grade>=75) Note: In this example, the condition
is to check if the variable grade
{document.write(“Passed”);}
equals(>=)75. If the condition is not
else satisfied as assigned in the
{document.write(“Failed”);} initialization condition, then the Else
</script> part is executed. In this case, the
</body> variable grade was initialized at 60
</html> which makes the condition false,
hence the else portion is
implemented giving the result
“Failed”.
<!DOCTYPE html>
Try this 2 nd Sample script
<head><title>If Else</title>
<script type=“text/javascript”>
function check()
{
if (document.example.answer.value==”Web Scripting”)
{document.write(“You answered correctly!”);}
else
{document.write(“Sorry. Try again.”);}}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>What is the title of this book?</p>
<form name=“example”>
<input type=“text” name=“answer” value=“”>
<input type=“button” name=“answerbutton” value=“SUBMIT”
onClick=check()></form></body>
</html>
If Else If Statement

We don’t always evaluate just one condition. Sometimes more than


one or multiple conditions must be evaluated.

This is possible with the If-Else-If statement. The name refers to an


if statement that depends on another if statement.

When you use the If Else If statement, you are simply telling the
browser that is something is True, then do something else, if the
other thing is True, then do something else, and so on.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head><title>If Else</title>
<script type=“text/javascript”> Try this Sample script
function check()
{
if (document.example.answer.value==”Web Scripting”)
{document.write(“You answered correctly!”);}
else if (document.example.answer.value==“”)
{document.write(“You did not answer the question!”);}
else
{document.write(“Sorry. Try again!”);}}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>What is the title of this book?</p>
<form name=“example”>
<input type=“text” name=“answer” value=“”>
<input type=“button” name=“answerbutton” value=“SUBMIT” onClick=check()>
</form></body>
</html>
Switch Statement

In the previous example, we used the If Else If statement to test


multiple conditions. What if there are a lot of options? The If Else If
statement can be tedious. To address this issue, JS offers an easier
way to implement multiple conditions, that is through the Switch
statement.

Switch statement is used when a condition may have multiple results


and a different set of operation is done based on each result or
input.
Syntax:

switch(condition)
{
case result1:
//operation for result 1

case result2:
//operation for result 2
.
.
default:
//If result belongs to none of the case specified. }
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head><title>Switch</title> Try this Sample script
<script type=“text/javascript”>
function bookcheck()
{ var book=document.frmbook.cmbbook.value
switch (book) <body>
{case “1”: alert(“J.R.R Tolkien”) <p>Select a book below to find the name of
break the author</p>
case “2”: alert(“C.S. Lewis”) <form name=formbook>
break <select name=cmbbook>
case “3”: alert(“J.K Rowling”) <option value=1>Lord of the Rings</option>
break <option value=2>Chronicles of Narnia
case “4”: alert(“Mark Twain”) </option>
break <option value=3>Harry Potter</option>
default: alert(“undetermined”)}} <option value=4>The Adventures of
</script></head> Huckleberry Finn</option></select>
<input type=“button” name=“combo”
value=“SUBMIT” onClick=bookcheck()>
</form>
</body>
</html>
In the example, we started by creating a custom function named
bookcheck(). Within that function we declared a variable declaring a
variable called “book” and using that variable to get the value of the
selected item in the combo box. We opened a Switch statement,
passing in the variable we want to test which is “book”. This is is
followed by a set of cases. The “break” construct after each case
prevents the code from running into the next case. Prior to the
closing bracket, we placed a default condition. This will be
executed if none of the previous cases is true.
